Got this in my mailbox and wanted to share...

Dear Valued Customer,

As you may be aware, ICANN recently imposed a new fee of $.20 for each domain registered then deleted within the four day grace period. As a result, the rate for domains returned during the four day grace period has increased by $.20 per domain effective July 1, 2008.

Thank you for your continued business.

*75% hike on the tasting.

Got it too. I am wondering if other registrars are about to fire the same letter soon ...
 
here you go...

Dear Mr. Twister,

You are receiving this email because you have grace deleted a new domain before, or because you are a bulk customer.

Recently ICANN changed the rules for grace deletions of new domains. For every domain registered, Dynadot pays a $0.20 fee to ICANN. (This fee is included in the price you pay to us.) Previously, this fee was refunded to us if the domain was grace deleted in the 5 day window. However, ICANN will now charge the fee even if the domain is deleted.

Effective immediately Dynadot can no longer offer grace deletions. Any new domain registrations must be kept for the full year. Domains registered July 4 or earlier can still be grace deleted for free.

Notes:
(1) This change only applies to COM, NET, INFO, ORG, MOBI, ASIA, NAME.
(2) We may introduce grace deletions for these tlds again later, but with a deletion fee.
(3) For more info please see: http://gnso.icann.org/issues/domain-tasting/domain-tasting-board-report

Best Regards,
Dynadot Staff
 
Hmm they should start thinking of refunding the deposits then.
 
Any other domain tasting sites out there. Moniker is charging me $9.60 per domain, and .45 per taste. Seems expensive.
